AbstractRapid thermal annealing (RTA) was applied to anneal polycrystalline CdTe thin films evaporated on CdS/ITO substrate and the effects of rapid thermal annealing temperatures and gas environments were studied. X-ray diffractometer (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX), cross-sectional transmission microscopy(TEM), and micro-EDX in TEM were used to characterize physical and chemical properties of rapid thermal annealed CdTe thin films. Complete CdTe/CdS photovoltaic cells were fabricated and I-V characteristics of these cells were measured under the illumination. Results showed that the bulk composition of CdTe remained stoichiometric to 550°C in the air environment and surface composition became Cd-rich. Cross-sectional TEM and micro-EDX showed columnar grains and micro-twins remained even after RTA, however, sulfur content in rapid thermal annealed CdTe caused by sulfur diffusion from CdS during the annealing was much smaller than that by furnace annealing. Among the investigated RTA temperatures and gas environments, the cell made with CdTe annealed at 550°C in the air showed the best solar energy conversion efficiency.
